Smash Bros Lawl

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Smash Bros. Lawl is a parody of Super Smash Bros., featuring many YouTube Poop and miscellaneous characters. It was created by chincherrinas on Youtube. The videos are usually a given character's moves and abilities, a "playthrough" of the Subspace Emissary story mode, or occasional miscellaneous videos about other features.

He is also the creator of The Frollo Show.

The Roster

Tropes used in Smash Bros Lawl include:
  • Absurdly Spacious Sewer: The later parts of Madotsuki's dream world.
  • Advancing Wall of Doom: One made of fire pursues the player through part of Persian Forest. It does stop at a certain point, though.
  • All Just a Dream: The Yume Nikki-inspired "???" level.
  • All Men Are Perverts: All the male characters (and Snake) are attracted to Panty's pole dance.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The giant version of Irate Gamer made of Shadow Bugs.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: If you pick a villainous character and win Classic Mode, the wish they get from Chuck Norris and something bad will happen, if the video of Meen's run through Classic Mode is any indication.
  • Big "What?": The Nostalgia Critic lets one out when he sees Tommy Wiseau for the first time.
  • Boss in Mook Clothing: Dragon Breath, one of the badniks you face in Final Forest.
  • Chekhov's Skill: Learn how to take advantage of Kyukyu-Kun in ???, because it's the key to defeating the boss at the end.
  • Chuck Norris: He's the final boss of Classic Mode, apparently granting wishes to those who "defeat" him. He is also summoned as a part of Nostalgia Critic's Final Smash.
  • Call Back / Mythology Gag: The reason Tommy Wiseau attacks Nostalgia Critic is because of the Critic trashing his movie in a review.
    • The reason Yoshi was sleeping in the real Subspace Emissary? Mama Luigi told him a bedtime story.
  • Detectives Follow Footprints: The point of the Bicycle Tracks stage in Subspace Emissary is that Nostalgia Critic, Madotsuki, and Tommy Wiseau are following tracks left by the Irate Gamer, to track him down.
  • Doomed Hometown: The homes of Harkinian, AVGN, Tommy Wiseau, Madotsuki, and Leonidas are all destroyed in their introductory levels.
  • Dual Boss: On the Bicycle Tracks, Tommy is face to face with False Nostalgia Critic and Madotsuki.
    • In Final Forest, The King and Leonidas must both fight Frollo and Gaston.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: King Leonidas was revealed on the character menu before he first appeared for real. Gaston foreshadowed his appearance in Subspace Emissary before his proper introduction. Yomika was also first seen in Madotsuki's Classic Mode run, then her moveset was uploaded later on.
    • Multiple times in a character's moveset video, a future character is shown, especially earlier on.
  • Enemy Mine: The King and IM Meen team up and eventually upgrade to Vitriolic Best Buds. Later, Nostalgia Critic and Tommy Wiseau team up after fighting and stick together.
  • Foreshadowing: Madotsuki dreams about her eventual battle with Big Red.
  • Framing Device: Mama Luigi's moveset is just a bedtime story that he's telling to Yoshi.
  • Funny Background Event: At the end of The Nostalgia Critic's introductory video, his face is seen on the Irate Gamer's Smash Bros. poster.
  • Good All Along: It is implied that Gaston (and by extension, Frollo) is this. He is seen using a Dark Cannon. But in his Early-Bird Cameo, it's dropped at his feet, meaning it wasn't his. He and Frollo also have King Dedede's special pins on their trophy forms. He also kept Coconuts from firing a Dark Cannon at Meen.
  • I Hate Past Me / Future Me Scares Me: Luigi and Mama Luigi encounter each other and both run off in opposite directions, screaming.
  • Irony: Guile's Final Smash, "Anti Terrorism" is essentially a suicidal bomb attack.
  • Lost Woods: The first half of Madotsuki's dream level.
    • The Trope Namer itself appears, in all of its maze-y goodness.
  • Memetic Molester: In-Universe, The King accuses IM Meen of being a pedophile.
  • Multi Mook Melee
  • Noodle Incident / Running Gag: Almost every time a battle starts and then gets cut to the very end, the "player" has 999% damage. Apparently there is always a That One Boss or Demonic Spider lurking between the transitions.
  • Not What It Looks Like: Tommy Wiseau starts fighting the evil clone of the Nostalgia Critic, but Madotsuki mistakes him for the real one, so she thinks Tommy's betrayed them.
  • Oh Crap: Nostalgia Critic has a non-verbal one when he realizes the fight with False Irate Gamer may not be as much of a cakewalk as first thought.
  • Puzzle Boss: Glutko of the first level is vulnerable after you feed it rocks.
  • Rashomon Style: To the original Subspace Emissary, this time showing the point of view of the characters who were "left out". The presence of the Halberd in Hyrule is the first sign, but it becomes even more apparent starting in Sparta, where characters are shown being a secret part of what is already known of the story.
  • Recurring Riff: A lot of the stage music for each stage is just remixes of the same song.
  • The Rival: Many characters present act as this for one another. A character's specific rival is typically the penultimate battle in a Classic Mode run.
  • Royals Who Actually Do Something: Harkinian and Leonidas. They even have a few levels together.
  • Self-Deprecation: Part of the codec call Snake has about Frollo references how The Frollo Show (another thing made by Chincherrinas) isn't that known.
  • Slow No: When Nostalgia Critic tries to save Madotsuki from the Subspace Bomb.
  • Small Reference Pools: Hardly anyone knows who Yomika is, in or out of the universe.
  • Summon Magic: Many attacks involve briefly summoning another character from the fighter's original work.
  • Take That: The Irate Gamer only exists in the game to be a bad character, as a Take That.
  • This Is Sparta: Leonidas is a character. It would be a crime not to have this trope.
  • Timed Mission: The first part of Persian Forest requires you to kill 20 Persian Warriors before 50 seconds.
  • Unexpected Gameplay Change: Sometimes throughout the story, instead of standard Smash battles or boss fights, the game shifts to Stamina mode.
  • Unique Enemy: So far, the ??? stage is the only place that Masada Wiseau appears. It's simply a version of Tommy Wiseau colored to resemble Seccom Masada Sensei, but it's unique in that he has a different name in the damage meter.
  • Villain Team-Up: Dr. Robotnik and Xerxes team up in Subspace Emissary'. The player must fight a mixed crowd of their mooks on a few occasions.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: The King and IM Meen become this over time. It is implied that Nostalgia Critic and AVGN are this, as well.
  • What Could Have Been: In-Universe, these are characters who were "left out" of Smash Bros. Brawl.
  • The Wiki Rule
  • Woobie of Mass Destruction: Mei-Ling sees The Nostalgia Critic as this.
    • Yomika
  • YouTube Poop / Memetic Mutation: The source of many of the characters.
